Well, there are two issues. First, Apple doesn’t allow the installation of their OSs on non-Apple hardware, so installing MacOS on Raspberry is at least a licensing issue and hence there’s no project to port MacOS to the Raspberry Pi. Second, Windows OSs are much more resource hungry compared to Linux distros and though there are ways to install Win11 on a pi (though you’d have to tinker a bit more) it would be very slow due to the board’s limited resources and not really worth the effort.
Linux has the best fitting distros for RPi, they are made for each other, and there is no real reason (though just trying for the sake of it is valid, too) to use something else on a Raspberry.
I think it was something dumb related to Cortana? It was a pretty useless operating system, and I’ve since run only Raspberry Pi OS on that particular Pi.
As a vegan, raspberry Pi owning Linux user, fuck CrossFit though.
The new stereotype is bouldering 😤
I would be interested if there are any raspberry pi owning non-Linux users. It would sort of seem like the two would go together.

I have one of the originals and it definitely wouldn’t run anything other than Linux.
There was a version of Windows, Win 10 IoT Core, for the later Pis. I’ve never heard of anybody actually using it though.
I did once on my Pi 3.
What was your experience? Did you do it just for fun or did you use it for something?

RISC OS, anyone?
Not for me, thanks, I’m pretty RISC-averse.
